You know John.. I work in industry, where they<br>
expect Ph. D 's to produce. Worse, I work as a<br>
technology designer on Wall Street, where the<br>
stress is even Worse! Worse than that, I am<br>
on the 60th floor of the largest terrorist target<br>
in NYC still remaining, with a wonderful southern<br>
view of where many of my WTC friends perished.<br>
(The view is not so desirable now).<br><br>
You are in an academic institution. I recall teaching<br>
as a professor of Mathematics. I don't recall there<br>
ever being a time in academia where I sounded as<br>
stressed out as you do. Relax. Take a breather.<br>
I have been on this list a long while, and you have not<br>
seen me post, as I often only post when I have something<br>
that is often helpful to someone, or insightful to the<br>
many that hang here that run server companies, many<br>
on Linux.<br><br>
I have followed the Windows vs Linux catharsis, and know<br>
the reality, and know to stay out of that hot bed. However,<br>
I never expected a response such as yours on such a<br>
benign comment on a patch many of us have been waiting<br>
for since day 2 of release, after having waited day by day<br>
here for 2 months or so prior to release of UO. Are things<br>
that stressed at GATech?<br><br>
Perhaps, I should make a few calls and reach out to some<br>
of my friends there in the computer Engineering and Sciences<br>
group and see why the work place is so hostile.<br><br>
BTW, is COD:UO on the supported software list at GA Tech<br>
these days? Boy, the curriculum has gotten tougher since I<br>
did my dissertation. We only had Diskless IBMPC's on Arcnet<br>
back then. Must be my mid-life 40 age.... ;-)
Relax.<br><br>
